Twitter user claims Daily Mail story of white British jihadi is a hoax

A Twitter user claims to have pranked the Daily Mail with a story about a white British teenage boy who purportedly joined Islamic State after failing to get a university place.

The story, headlined Who is Britain’s white jihadi youth?, first appeared on MailOnline on Boxing Day and showed a photograph posted on Twitter of the teenager, said to be called Jonathan Edwards, sitting between two jihadi fighters in front of an Isis flag and clasping a rifle. The story also appeared in the newspaper on Saturday.

Twitter user Abu Dawud – who posted the picture with the caption, “Meet Jonathan Edwards – applied for Ucas to [sic] late and wasn’t accepted in any university, so he joined the Islamic state” – gleefully claimed on Saturday that the article was a hoax, adding that he had successfully “trolled” British media.

THAT scrawny dude in the photo' is probably an Aussie stoner posing with his Iranian, Pakistani or Afghani' refugee ISIS wannabe school mates in one of their parent's Lakemba garages, with a rather feral-looking "flag" that one of their younger sisters drew up on an old bedsheet with her finger painting...

SLIGHTLY used AK-47s and SSKs come courtesy of second-cousin Farouk leaving them behind on his last flying visit downunder..

THAT'S the thing with these pic's of anonymous white ISIS stooges cropping up in internet hoaxes ~ the original could have been taken anywhere in the world these days.. farao

You owe me for one coffee-drenched keyboard. I don't know when I've laughed so hard at a post. "Aussie stoner," indeed! "Feral-looking 'flag'!"
